A new collective appeal accuses Amazon of having deceived consumers of believing that they have films that they “buy” on its platform, while in reality the films they have purchased can disappear at any time.
Unlike physical media, such as a DVD or a Blu-ray, the films purchased on the Amazon platform are not in perpetuity. Customers actually buy a limited license to broadcast films and, if Amazon loses the rights to transport the film on its platform, the media simply disappear from the customer’s library, noted the Hollywood Reporter.
The trial, submitted to the Washington State Federal Court, alleged that Amazon is committed to a “bait and a change” on consumers by leading them to believe that they buy a film and do not sufficiently disclose that they simply buy a license to disseminate the media, which is revocable at any time.

“When we” buy “a DVD with paper copy of the director of the director of Django Unchained, they” own “. They can place the DVD in the shelf under their television stand, and assure that the DVD will not disappear in the thin air with time”, indicates the trial. “If they wish to see the film 5 or 10 years later, they can plug the DVD on their DVD player, Film director will always play. It cannot be said when you “buy” Django unleashed on APV. “
“If Amazon loses the rights of the film’s director’s director, Amazon could replace it with a different cut in the film (such as the theatrical cup, which is 30 minutes from deleted sequences). And if Amazon loses the rights of the film, it will disappear from the consumer’s digital library.”
The prosecution claims that Amazon is in violation of a law signed by the Democratic Governor of California Gavin Newsom in January, which obliges digital stores to inform customers that they buy rights to disseminate content, not the content itself.

The bill came in response to a consumers who manifested itself as the “Stop Killing Games” movement, which targeted video game manufacturers like Ubisoft and PlayStation, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Ubisoft caused the players anger after closing servers organizing their popular online racing game “The Crew” and revoining players’ licenses to broadcast the game last year. These actions completely deleted the game from their libraries. PlayStation threatened to delete the discovery content of their users’ libraries, even if they had “bought” the emissions, to return the move later.

“When consumers buy digital audiovisual versions on the Amazon website, they do not obtain the complete package of rights that we traditionally consider to have a property. Instead, they receive [a] “Limited non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-advertising license” to access digital audiovisual work, which is maintained at the sole discretion of the defendant, “said the trial.

Amazon has already been prosecuted in 2020 for similar allegations according to which it did not provide consumers with sufficient understanding of what they bought. The streamer arose that its conditions of use clearly indicate that the content purchased by a consumer could one day disappear. A judge rejected Amazon’s attempt to reject the case.
